Review Round 6: Sunday 30/4 vs Casey @ Wonthaggi

[H00t]

Brown is a great barometer for our mids. Got to at least match his influence to get yourself back into the team. The Cmac seem to have done that from what little I’ve seen. And really should be playing better than him.

Stephens and Finn are struggling. It’s still early in the year but I’d really like to be seeing more from both of them.

Say goodbye to this one. Jaylen Thorpe misses on the run right in front of goal with no one in the way.

No downfield no advantage

My god that is terrible umpiring

Umpires have been poor.

 

[Baz_hawk]

That was horrific umpiring. Wow!

 

[VandoHawk]

Someone please teach Mackenzie a set shot routine

That was horrific umpiring. Wow!

And I was just saying vfl umpires were better

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

There are invisible magnets on each point post when MacKenzie has a shot at goal. Needs attention

 

[Kuuz]

It was always going to be a hard one to win - Casey have so many players that easily play AFL for a lot of teams, other than Melbourne. A lot of very experienced vets in that side.

Still, a lot of really good signs and definitely competition brewing quite nicely at Box Hill. Plenty of pressure on spots.

 

[hardway]

Persist with Long.
Bye bye Finn, Kosi and Jeka. They are the definition of deadwood

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Meek, Cmac and Mackenzie banging down the door.

Good side they are Casey, a few of their forwards would walk into our AFL team.

 

[TylerDurden]

DGB quiet. Worries me.

 

[Billyc]

DGB quiet. Worries me.

On the plus side, Blanck has looked alright

 

[dermott]

The winning team had a functioning forward line we had a dysfunctional one.
Meek, C Mac and the Frenchman will come into consideration by the selectors next week.

 

[HawthornHawk]

Unfortunately I couldn't watch the game, was Stephens injured?

 

[peetoo]

I'm sure that's in the back of the mind for the hawks, bur the match was an invite from the local council. Closest club (casey) up against the club with the academy connected to them

Wonthaggi 1 1/2 hour drive from Waverley park. Was the best chance for Gippsland. Gone now and ironically the demons danced on its grave when shut down

 

[Mojo]

DGB quiet. Worries me.

I wonder if playing him in a different position i.e. forward, might allow him to get more involved, and have a benefit to the side.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Unfortunately I couldn't watch the game, was Stephens injured?

Doesn't appear so.

I don't see how he's going to get a senior game this year with so many players ahead of him.

 

[VandoHawk]

That wasn’t a horrible performance but we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot with our skills. Our young kids and the Box Hill players just wilted under the pressure.

Bennetts played his worst game for the year, no impact at all.
Blanck did fairly well at shutting down Brown. Even battle.
Bramble won a decent amount of ball but largely ineffective (did kick a very good goal).
Butler was the best of our smalls. Skills were suspect but he pressured and linked up well.
Denver had an even battle with Tom McDonald

, the goals McDonald kicked were all not on him. Want to see more link up play because his skills are good.
Hustwaite played on Jefferson and didn’t do too badly. Some howler kicks though.
Jeka kicked 2 goals but there is no urgency to his game. Has all the tools so it’s frustrating.
Kosi is the reverse Jeka, tries so hard but wasn’t able to win a contest for 3 quarters. Got some reward for effort in the last.
Long had a down game by his standards. Wasn’t horrible but he usually has a larger influence.
BMac wasn’t able to get his usual run and gun going. Looked lively in the last when we attempted a resurgence.
CMac looked really good and accumulated at will. Kicked a ripper goal. His skills were average at times but the entire team had that problem.
Mackenzie was clean and has a fantastic mix of inside/outside. Please teach him how to kick at goal.
Maginness didn’t win much of the ball and butchered it when he did.
Meek was a dominant force in the ruck and his follow up work was great. He took some good contested marks in the first half too. BOG for us.
Morris was given a bath by Melksham then copped an injury.
O’Sullivan attacked the ball hard for no chocolates.
Stephens didn’t win much of the ball and butchered it when he did. Getting O’Rourke vibes.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Did Maginess play on Dunstan? Dunstan usually dominates this level but looks like he had a quiet game?

 

[Billyc]

Doesn't appear so.

I don't see how he's going to get a senior game this year with so many players ahead of him.

Looks very much like a VFL player. Similar to James Cousins a couple years back.

Potentially in the first half but Dunstan went off injured at around half-time.

Dunstan got injured. Not sure if Finn was on him before that

Dunstan off injured in the second - never came back on
